Department of Civil Engineering 343
Courses numbered within 500 series are considered to be undergraduate courses but are intended to form a transition from the undergraduate to the graduate programme in certain areas of Civil Engineering. They serve two major functions.
1) to provide electives for the undergraduate so that he may specialize in a particular area.
2) to provide background information for the graduate student when such is lacking. Courses of this series may be credited — toward a graduate degree.
